I think this is a song that proves that there is no such thing as corny or cheesy lyrics on their own. It's all about the song as a whole, and the way it is played and by whom.

I look at the lyrics and think, oh my god, there is not a single original thought in there, it's all clichés. But still when I listen to the song, it feels organic and I don't cringe over any of it.

I have been listening to this song loads recently, definately one of the best on 1039. A mixture of oldskool greenday guitar/drum sound however with some good meaningful lyrics.

I gag at the suggestion of 1039 as a whole. :sick:

This is in my top two of 1000 Hours EP, actually, if I had to put the songs from that EP in order of best to really good, they're already in order :P

No, but that's three different recording sessions there. The songs were made in different processes, recorded in different ways, by the time they recorded Slappy, they knew what they were doing, recording 1000 Hours they didn't. Small differences that I care about

If we going by different sessions then not one single album by any group post 60's should be labeled as an album

They dont market it as an album but as a compilation the vintl pressings are set up like original releases but cd why not add on? otherwise 1000 Hours and Slappy probally would never been released on cd if it wasnt the 1,039 comp

Is there any song more raw than this one? That guitar is so rough and raw, yet amorous. Like the song.

I dunno just seen your distaste for 1039 in past threads was just curious why no harm was meant

That's fine. They flow together well, but as 1039, people don't appreciate the songs as much I feel. That's how I was when I listened to it all at once. Once you get to track 16, you've been listening for a while and lose interest. And the songs at the end aren't as catchy as the ones in the beginning, when I first heard 1000 Hours, I thought all the songs at the end sounded the same. I think by keeping them separate, it moderates your intake of the music.

I can agree with that until recently I never cared for 39 Smooth or 1000 Hours i loved Going To Pasalaqua Paper Lanterns Knowledge and 409 the unmixed version but a couple months ago drove to New Orleans and popped the cd in i like it alot more than in the past but i deft agree with the lose interest part

This has never been one of my favorites. I'm pretty indifferent to it. It's cute, but there's really not much else going for it in my opinion.

I love this song so much and you took the words right out of my mouth."It's about describing a fantasy about wanting to be with the person you love, but never actually getting to be with them" & that's why I like it so much because it's pretty much the story of my life.

The only thing I don't like about this song is the Guitar and Drums pop and crack WAY to much. Other than that it is a favorite of 1000 hours.
